  • Granola – Copenhagen

    Granola is a spot that’s popular with locals and tourists alike. I arrived and there was a wait, this is a good sign I thought. But looking back, I’m honestly not sure why. I go in and there was a small table pushed in the corner where I was able to sit without a wait,…

  • Hidden Valley Preserve

    As the global pandemic began to take front and center stage in the northeast last spring the kiddo and I sheltered in place here at home. That meant a lot of time in the house and time in our own backyard. We’d take a walk around the block about once a day and when I’d…

  • Tandem Coffee and Bakery –  Portland, Maine 

    742 Congress St Portland, Maine Back in 2017 for New Years I took my first trip ever to Portland Maine and Portsmouth New Hampshire. This would be my first New City, New Year trip with the tater tot who was just about 5 1/2 months old! We left in the early AM and got to…

  • Neptune Statue Monterosso al Mare

    I went to Cinque Terre in Italy for the first time. in 2015 I loved it so much that 4 months later I went back. One of the most unique things there was the Neptune Statue, the Sea God (also called Il Gigante). You can find the Neptune Statue in Monterosso al Mare. Monterosso al Mare is the only…

  • Iceland VIII

    Tuesday, December 1, 2015 Tuesday to an outsider’s point of view was pretty uneventful, but from a personal perspective I had one of my favorite nights there. There isn’t much detail for me to go into, so feel free to skip the rest of this post as Wednesday was just my flight home. Next week’s…

  • Iceland VII

    Monday, November 30, 2015 After 3 long nights out, I relaxed a great deal on Monday. But I knew I had my northern lights tour that night so I was excited as it seemed the sky would be clear and the lights would be active. I have got to say, the northern lights did not…

  • Iceland VI

    Sunday, November 29, 2015 … another alarm set for 12 noon. My friend that I had gotten together with on Saturday invited me to brunch with his family. Along with Broadway shows, NYC brunches top my favorite things to do on a NYC weekend. So, there was no way I was missing out on seeing what…

  • Iceland V

    Saturday, November 28, 2015 My alarm was set for noon as a friend was coming by to get me to walk with me to get hot dogs and go to the flea market. Let’s just say the food equivalent to Ron Burgundy in Iceland would be the hot dogs. The place to go is Bæjarins Beztu…

  • Iceland Part IV

    Friday, November 27, 2015 It snowed in earnest as I slept Thursday night and Friday morning. I woke up to a Winter Wonderland. It was beautiful. It wasn’t all brown and muddy as it gets in NYC or even in the suburbs of Connecticut. It appeared they didn’t even plow the streets around me, people…

  • Iceland Part III

    Thursday, November 26, 2015 I awoke and took a 45 minute walk to The Perlan. I walk much more when I am in other cities. I love seeing the city by foot, really getting out there and covering the ground in a way you can’t in public transportation. I was a brisk walk away from…
